Through PEPFAR, MHRP supports both the military through the Tanzania People's Defence Force and civilian populations through local communities and partners in Tanzania’s Southern Highlands region to fight HIV/AIDS. The program’s integrated approach to HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment allows MHRP in Tanzania to offer a range of services to address transmission, co-infections and overall health and nutrition.
The military program is executed in tandem with the Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF), which oversees operations in military health facilities throughout Tanzania, including eight zonal hospitals.
The civilian prevention, care and treatment program was developed with local partners in the Southern Highlands, including the regions of Mbeya, Rukwa, Katavi and Songwe. The program is conducted in collaboration with the Mbeya Zonal Referral Hospital (MZRH) and the Mbeya, Katavi, Songwe and Rukwa Regional Administrative Secretariats (RAS) and Regional Medical Offices (RMO). The program, referred to locally as the Walter Reed Program-Tanzania, also works in close coordination with the Ministry of Health (MOH), the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) and the President’s Office - Regional Administration and Local Government (PORALG).
